Pakistan
Centre for Philanthropy’s (PCP) Nonprofit
Organisations’ (NPO) Certification
Programme
is the first initiative of its kind not
only in Pakistan but also in the South Asian
region. Developed
after considerable brainstorming, review of
international best practices and
consultations with stakeholders, the
programme aims to facilitate credible nonprofit
organisations in diversifying their resource
base and expanding their programmes for
social development.
Certification
is a 'seal of good housekeeping', for organisations that exhibit exemplary
standards in organisational effectiveness. This is based on an independent
and objective evaluation of the NPO in critical areas of internal
governance, financial management and programme delivery. The
programme seeks to set sector-wide standards and incentives adoption
of ' best
practice' in these areas.
Certified organisations
are promoted by PCP through its website and
databases. This helps donors (individual,
corporate, diaspora and international) and
the government in identifying credible
partners for social development.
Certification
also forms the basis for the NPOs to claim
tax benefits from the Federal Board of
Revenue (FBR). For those organisations that
fail to meet the standards, PCP builds linkages with specialised
capacity building organisations that help the
NPO build its capacity to
meet certification standards.
